I have been tagged!!
By AH KIM!! Since I have time to spare while waiting for my hair to dry.... I shall complete this random facts about me =D
Rules of the game:
1. post 5 weird/random stuff abt yourself
2. at the end, list the names of 5 ppl who you want next to this and leave a comment "YOu R ARE TAGGED" in their blogs and tell them to read your blog for rules!
1) I like to sleep on my side, curl up like a prawn. Haha.... I actually went to check on the net and I realise I have two kind of sleeping position. They are known as....
The Foetus: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.
OR
The yearner (13%): People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.
2) I like to
close my bedroom door when I am in my room. Whether I am sleeping, studying for my exam, or just surfing the net. My mom wonder why..... and the comic below explains it all....
3) I like gothic, dark theme stuff even though I do not look like it. Seriously~
4) I am actually interested in learning dancing if given a chance. E.g those sleek dance moves I see in MTVs such as hip-hop and R&B. I still think it would be so cool to do that.
5) I suckZ in public speaking...... I stumble over the words, my mind goes blank and I have forgotten half of the things I was suppose to say.....
So I am gonna tag...... JunZ, Geraldine, Barry, yixin, ahYing!
Time for sleep.... so bloody tired.....

What a day this has been..... what a week this has been....
Lots of stuff have been happening lately. Not much time to blog due to my busy work schedule. Even if I have time, I would be so bloody tired I would rather spend my time sleeping then doing anything else... working life really sux...... Anyway, I will only blog about the more noteable stuff. Lets start with my sucky Friday.....
25th Novemeber, Friday
Weather: Rainy morning
Was suppose to be my off day but NO I have to go back for my product training at 9am. Woke up to a threating weather of rain and dark clouds. Certainty did not help in lifting my mood. Took the usual bus 190 and there was a freaky jam at the expressway for 15 mins! Of course that wasn't all! The bus driver miss my bus stop and drop me off at Plaza Singapura instead of Cuppage. I was like.... "what the fuck"?!? I had to run all the way back to cuppage in the drizzling rain and I nearly fell on one of the pathway. HaiZ..... I was cold, wet, panting and late for 15 mins when I reach the Cuppage StarHub Building 7th floor for the training.
My plan for the training course was to remain "invisible" by sitting there, listen, nobbing the head at appropriate time, pack up and go home. Nothing goes according to plan and I was picked to do a demo of how I treat "potential" customers. GrrRRrrr..... I detest presentation in front of huge group of people when I am not prepared. To end off my day, everyone had to go back to their own respective branch immediately as told by the other managers and no one accompanied me for lunch! So damn sad! My partner went for his early lunch too. HAIZ.... in the end I went home without eating anything and ate cereals for lunch..... how pathetic is that?! I remembered feeling so damn sorry for myself....
26th Novemeber 2005, Saturday
Weather: Soft fluffy clouds in the sky. Cold weather....
Went to work with my partner and there were no seats in the bus as usual so we had to stand all the way from Bukit Panjang to Orchard, a 35 min journey. Morning started off busy with lots of customers pouring in not long after the opening hours. Surprisely I managed to sell one i-mode mobile! YEA! Target met for that day! Morale for my partner and me went up a notch even though there is no commission for selling the phone. Just for our own satisfaction I guess to know all the talking we did have an impact on the customers.....of course if there is commission, it will be so much better and more motivation on our part to sell and market the product..... but naw~
Went for Barry's Bday after work. My dear buddy is officially 21 years old! It was a peaceful Bday for him this year cause all of us were too busy to plan for it. Furthermore, his parents were at the BBQ so ya.... cannot go too crazy or wild. Geeze you should thank your parents for it Barry! Don't worry though, we know you find this year's bday sooOOo not exciting and its boring. We will have a birthday bash for you every leap year!! Aren't you feeling happy now??! =D .... I went home early because I am the only one who have to work the next day. Zzz.... reach home at 1am..... slept at 2am.....
27th Novemeber 2005, Sunday
Weather: Bright early morning with sunshine
WORK again. Was feeling so grumbly due to the lack of sleep. However two shocking news early in the morning during the briefing peak me up.
1) Manager was surprise to see me at work. She said it was suppose to be my off day! After asking about It seems they have forgotten to inform me. I was speechless at the moment. Do they have any idea the amoun of time wasted preparing for work, money wasted on my transportation, wearing the dumb uniform and they are telling me its my day off?! Crap.... I thought they would be asking me to go home. Luckily, they decided I will work this Sunday and pay me OT for the 3 hour training on Friday. YEA! So alls well that ends well =D .
2) The manager said that the Cuppage Branch was one of the top sellers for the i-mode phone and to applause the promotor(my partner and me) for the effort. LOLX..... that was one of the most hilarious thing I have heard cause I had no idea we were doing so well. I mean looking at the crowd for the Cuppage Branch for the days I have been working there is kinda pathetic compared to the other branches. Oh well, no harm though. This news has a good impact for both my partner and me. Hehe~
Day started off slow and the temp staff started crapping about during the non-peak hours. We were so bored we started to predict what is the last number for the queue number! I predicted 80, my partner 85 while the other two decided on 90. Hhahaa..... damn lame huh? None of us were even close to winning. Hhahaa.... the queue for that day was so much more then usual- 100 customers! Just our luck that the last customer we serve was this idiotic customer whom I feel like slapping him silly! Kept asking dumb questions and asking if we are sure. If you don't believe us, DON'T ASK US and GO check it out in the internet yourself! We are not lying to you because there is no commission for us in selling the mobile to you! My partner and I was so damn piss off with the customer. Gosh~ the weird and different types of people you see in this line of work.
Was feeling so hungry that I accompanied my partner to the 24hour hawker center near our house for some food..... slept at 12am without even waiting for my hair to dry.....
28th Novemeber 2005, Monday
Weather: blurry morning, dark clouds, no rain....
Working for two weekends and 2 Mondays is sucky I went with a heavy heart to work. The first thing the manager told me when I reach the shop was " there is a change of schedule". Dread fill me when I heard that. Bad news early in the morning great way to go manager! Haiz... it seems that I will be posted to Tampines for a roadshow for 3 days which is Fri, Sat and Sun! Hello??! They are sending me from one side of Singapore to the other and they are eating up my weekend AGAIN. Shit man..... screw up management at work again. My partner wasn't spared too..... Zzzzz....
Day started off normal with the usual crowd and the manager give me a half an hour break at 11am. Its so damn early! Did not have much of an appetite so bought two siew mi. After my break was over, a guy came down to our shop to repair the i-mode booth because one of the wire for attaching the phone to the booth had broken.
I had a surprise visit around noon from my dear buddy barry! As expected he was laughing at my stupid uniform.... how I look like a sushi seller and that ya.... I look like some weirdo. Thanks for the confirmation of how idiotic I look buddy. However I am glad he drop by cause he help to waste10 mins of my working time. Hhaha! I think Barry is picking some bad traits from ah liang. I ask why he is so free and he said he is sick..... but I saw his hands holding on to a comic plastic bag! YA RIGHT.... SICK?! I don't think so Barry..... very free huh?! Maybe next time you can poke your own eyes and you might get a one week off like our dear buddy ah liang with MC for red eye.... hahhaha.....
The day was over before I knew it. It was 8.30pm by the time we left the shop so I ate dinner with the other temp staff Jade, Simon and Alvin. Mutso could not accompanied us as he was doing the closing. The same goes for James. Both of them are permanent staff so they had more things to do...... Anyway I ate Nasi Lamak which I think tasted ok and I have eaten better ones. Alvin treated us to the drinks and we chat till 10.30pm before we went our separate way home.....
WHEW~ thats all for this entry. It took me 3 days to write this! LOLX!! Only managed to write a few lines each time and I was too sleepy to continue. Hhaaa.... this is one of my longest entry ever and I think its comparable to Barry's one! For anyone who finish reading this whole entry.... I thank you guys for the patience.... hahaa.....
okie.... gonna start packing my room a little. Read a magazine which says that a cluttered room will have bad feng shui! No wonder luck wasn't on my side lately! Time to buck up and tidy up and bring in all the good luck!

Hectic hectic worklife.....
FINALLY I have a rest day! Been so looking forward to it! After 3 days of working from 10am to 7.30pm with a 1 hour break in between, I need a bloody day off! If you think I am making a big fussSssss over the job.... well think again. It ain't fun when I have to stand for 8 hours with a size 6 shoe instead of my actual size 7 and smiling at my customers all the time while my feet hurts with every step I take! As for the uniform I am suppose to wear.... So bloody ugly.... I swear that the uniform is the most demotivating part of the work.
Its so horrifying that I don't even dare to wear it on my journey to work or back home. I have to change to my normal outfit before I step out of the building. My partner looks so so much better. At least he looks smart and professional since his blazer covers up the ugly shirt inside. Fyrthermore the only staff who wears a blazer in the store is the manager and him. ME on the other hand looks like a sushi seller and when I put my hands behind my back, I look like my hands are amputated because the sleeves are so huge. ArgHh..... I wish they can just give us a normal T-shirt to wear with my own jeans and sports shoe like the rest of the other staff! BUT NOOOOOO..... I have to wear the ill-fitting black pants, the 1-size-too-big white blouse, the 1-size-too-small black shoes, stupid shiny yellowish scarf and how can I forget the 2 thin wiry black belt? Sounds like a weird and dumb combintation of colours and design huh?! WELL..... I have to wear it for one month. This means the end of Decemeber which is still a long long way.....
Only rewarding part of the job? Friendly and helpful staff, the fact that my partner lives one bus stop away from me and I can meet up with the rest of them at the PS branch since its within walking distance from my own job place....
Working life really makes a person so busy and so tired that they don't feel like doing anything except go home, bath and sleep. NO LIFE to put it simply.... I tired to read a novel while waiting for my hair to dry. After reading it for 5 minutes, I have no idea what I have read and its only 11.30pm, my eyes trying to stay awake..... HaiZ... so pathetic....
I need some cheering up and someone to vent my frustrations on!!! Maybe I can lash out all my pent up frustrations this Saturday.... hahahah!!!! Its someone's BDay BDay~ yea! Time to relax and party!! ~ Well, at LEAST I have something to look forward to now..... =D

OhHhh..... I never knew......
I had so much talent in me! Bwahahahah!!! Alright, I know I should be discrete and modest about it. Hhee~ Well, I found out this talent of mine as I was preparing the christmas present for my close buddies! So far, I had done 3 of it last night. Yea! I sat there for 2 hours just to do it. First time I am so motivated to do it can? However still have 3 more to go. LolX.... I might continue doing it tonight IF I am in the mood. So for those who receive it, appreciate it! Or else..... prepare for a fate worse then hell Haha!
After I have written so much you guys must be wondering what the hell I am doing.... I am not telling till christmas is over! Want them to have an element of surprise when they see it. As usual , my dear bro was his "encouraging" self. His reaction when he saw it was like " Wow, this is the first time you have ever done anything outstanding. Not bad not bad". Zzzz..... how supportive of my bro huh???! FIRST TIME?!?! I have been outstanding other times! Its just that you did not see it! UrMmm.... Alright! seldom~ since I was never one to focus on something for too long. I have short attention span. What to do? I was born into this world the way I am.... lala~
Ahhh.... I am wondering why all the electronic stuff that I own are going crazy. Firstly, my PC is acting up again and not starting up properly. Something about a disc storage error. NEXT, my MP3 is spolit! It doesn't start up. I cannot charge it and I have only been using it for 2 months! Damn sad~ I'll just have to secretly use my bro's PC when he is not at home. Hope he doesn't find out! >_< color="#339999" size="4">Neurogene Mask on my way home later??! Its having a 4-day discounted price of $25.90 compare to the usual price of $35.90 at Watson!!! Its so cheap!!! BUt.... I am so so .... broke now. ArgHh.... I'll think about it later. Really tempted to buy it .....

Another off day....
Going to be officially working this Saturday. A 4-day intensive training by StarHub consist of lots of notes and yakking away by the StarHub people. It wasn't all for nothing since I have learn lots of things. Technical stuff, price plan, terms and conditions and a hell lot of promotions going on that we have to keep ourself update on. Luckily we had some crappy people during the training to make it more bearable. Haha..... they keep Gerladine and me entertained during lunch hours and breaks.
Tomorrow should be getting the uniform for work. Heard its a full set consisting of T-shirt, pants and shoes. Zzzzz...... I thought wearing jeans would be ok! So not looking forward to getting it since I dislike uniforms. Wonder where I will be posted to..... I'll know tomorrow..... I think. Hope its somewhere near me. Don't want to get posted near UOB bank because there is only one bus going there. So mai fai.....
This Saturday should be sucky I guess. Sweet-talking is the way to get people to listen and buy from you but I ain't got skills like that! Patience is another trait needed whereby after talking for so long, the person walks away without buying anything -_-!! I'll just.... ya.... try my best and not get piss off with customers >_< .... Actually out of all this I feel very sad on not being able to meet up with my buddies. Darn it.... if I am not wrong, I will be busy for most of the weekends and they are only out on weekends! ArgHhh..... I'll see how it goes.....
Oh ya.... I so wanna watch Emily Rose since the review was pretty good. Anyone interested?!? I have also seen a short segment of Harry Potter's: Goblin of Fire and I think it looks pretty good this time! The theme is darker and the storyline is not as childish as the previous one since "Harry Potter" is all grown up now. Haha... No offence to Harry Potter's fans about the first movie. Just my personal opinion. Ok..... off I go to gett my much needed afternoon nap. Woke up very very early today at 7am. I thought I had to work this morning. LOLX..... could not get back to sleep after that and now I feel sleepy.......

Work and play.....
Finally had a day off from StarHub! Been waking up freaky early at 6.30am to go for their training this past three days. I was ecstatic when the 3 day training was over..... BUT..... it seems there will be another training in the shop. Damn..... luckily we are being paid to be train. Or else it will be a torture! I am dying for pay day to come soon. SobZ..... I am seriously low on cash due to so many activities going on.
Here is a summary of it.....
1) New specs done after the exam since my current one looks ready to fall apart at anytime.
2) Shop for Mich birthday present last Saturday. Had my eyebrow pluck as I pass by Hollywood Secrets as I had a sudden urge to tidy up my eyebrows. I SWEAR..... never to ever follow my impulse. It has never done me any good so far -_-!!
3) Had my hair done today with JunZ. Did the usual and there goes the last of my money~
Ka-ching! All the money GONE~ Hope StarHub will keep me working all week and give me more OT!! Then I shall get OT pay! *prays* OK whining over and done with.
Meet up with the army guys last Sat after 3 weeks of not seeing them due to our exams. Haha.... as usual there were lots of crappy army jokes and all the "incidents" that seldom happen to anyone but them! Of course there was also the "updates" and gossiping. It was nice to see that we still have so much stuff to talk about. Could have continue chatting if it wasn't 11pm by then.
Went to Mich Bday the next day. She is 21 this year! I have heard a saying that after a person reach 21, the years will pass by swiftly. I wonder how true that is...... Anyway I was expecting some familar faces. In the end only 2 people from our class went- JunZ and me. JunZ bought her boyfriend so thats 3. Hhaaa~ it was pathetic lah! We chat with Mich for a while and we are so glad she like the present we give her. I was so tempted to get that bag for myself cause its so pretty! Its a small black bag with pink trimming and a huge flower on the side. Did not buy in the end due to..... ya.... money constricts. Well after that Mich had to attend to her other friends and relative. We were so bored we played majong with only the 3 of us hiding in her room till it was time to cut the cake. There was photo taking, blowing of candles and we left shortly after that as JunZ bf and I have to work the next day.
Alright thats all for todays update..... did my fair share of whining in this entry and I feel much better already. Hhaa! I am a born whiner~ New blogskin AGAIN. I was in the mood so I came out with this design. Feel that this blogskin is so much more cooler then the previous one. Hahha~
Still have lots of things to keep me busy this month. Bday, work, christmas shopping..... and the list goes on.....

FREE ....... at last!!!!!
Yesterday was my most anticipated day of the year. My last paper!!!! When the paper was over, I realised my nightmarish days are finally over. No more sleepless nights, no more waking up at 7am just to do a final revision..... no more WORRIES. Its over and done with. I will start to freak out only when the exam results draws near.
Lastly...... I HAVE A JOB! YEA! This means $$$$ and $=happy me. However it starts tomorrow which is kinda a rush. A change of plans is what they said. Haiz..... I was actually looking forward to take a break for a few days before starting work BUT I am going to think positivity. I should be thankful I have a job! Just think of the $ I can earn to perk me up. Of course I need to thank Geraldine for introducing this job to me! Really appreciate it as I doubt I could have found a job so soon without your help =D. THANKS~ oh ya.... whoever wants a job..... tag my board alright?! It seems they still have 2 positions to fill up.....
Anyway, I found out how out of touch I am with the outside world. Firstly, shopping centers at Orchard are already decorating and preparing for Christmas! Time really flies..... before I knew it, they will be playing christmas song and there will be the mad rush of people buying presents. I can already feel the festive season in the air! Hahah~ The shopping centre near my house had also recently undergo some major revamping. There are so many new shops since my last visit 2 weeks ago! There is TinkerBell, Baleno, a new clothing store and a new shampoo and soap store. Even NTUC is undergoing some renovation. Cool! Now Bukit Panjang Plaza is finally looking like a shopping centre. It use to be this "ghostly shopping centre" whereby you will be lucky to see a few living souls on a weekend.
HMmm..... it seems my my days will be quite packed this month. Damn.... I really really need to pack my things. My table is in a mess, my whole room is in a mess ..... well..... I'll see how it goes.
Done NOTHING today and I feel GREAT! Watch some anime, some drama, read "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown and sleep!! Since its the holiday season....I had a happy song to suit my mood! Its "Best Years of our lives" by Baha Men. Hehe~
For now...... life is BEAU-TI-FUL.

Image Makeover!
For my blogger! Haha..... I am in a super holiday mood now and its not even the last paper. However, today's paper was easy..... compare to the rest. At least I had time to finish it! Ahh.... next paper will be next Tuesday. Think I'll start revision tomorrow.... IF I am in the mood. Haha!
Today its REST REST and more REST! I was so tired I slept from 3pm till 7pm. NOW I can't get to sleep so I stayed up and design my new blogskin. Ok.... my whole point was to have a moody and dark blogskin this time..... something that suits my mood .... and tada! I came out with this! However while creating this new blogskin...... something brown and dark ran across my room. Its a stupid cockroach!!!!! YUCKS! Totally gross. It took my sis and I half an hour trying to kill that stupid insect. Mission fail and now we have NO FREAKY idea where the hell it went to. We''l just have to walk about with our eyes on the floor hoping we don't step onto it or having it anywhere near us!
Anyway..... a new program show on Channel 5 about designers competing with each other to get to the top. Its kinda cool! I think its more interesting then "American's Next Top Model" which had announce their winner last week. This new program is looking at all those weird clothings that this people can think of! Hhaa..... watch it if you have the time!
Hmmm..... 3am now.... Off I go to bed..... been ranting random stuff again....
